I was wrong then, because I was looking in
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/5.1/i386 (arent they supposed
to be the same?).

Also, I got 'ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.1/All'
configured so I can use pkg_add from the console (this is from the
'The pkgsrc user's guide'
(http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/using.html#finding-binary-packages,
4.1.2. Installing binary packages), and didnt find it the neither.

I still have to go through all the documentation, so maybe this is
just me mixing up things.

Thanks,
Fred.
